"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?" God asks in Isaiah 49:15 (NIV). What a bazaar question. Can you mothers imagine feeding your infant and then later asking, "What was that baby's name?" No, I've seen you care for your young. You stroke the hair, you touch the face, you sing the name over and over. Can a mother forget? No way. But "even if she could forget,... I will not forget you," God pledges (Isa. 49:15).

Mothers can forget. Im not one but I know a mother who has. Sad but true.
As long as God doesnt :)
Yes Darling, He doesn't :) That's the reason for us to believe and to trust God. There is no other love like His love.
